I just have a comment - and no offense intended. I consider myself a "casual
reader". We casual readers don't notice who writes what. Unless something
is particularly offensive (or you write about our surnames) we read and
delete, so it doesn't matter if we understand the << marks. In other words,
we aren't taking notes or keeping score.
